children Generation V
------------------------------------------------------
Philippe I, King of France
At age twenty, Philippe I, King of France, married
Bertha of Holland, the step-daughter of his first cousin.
This marriage had been arranged to seal the reconciliation
between the king and his first cousin, the Count of Flanders.
However, it took Bertha about six years before she produced a daughter,
Constance, which was not the hoped-for heir.
Arnoul, a holy hermit of Saint-Medard in Soissons who was always consulted
on family problems, prayed to heaven; however, it still took another three
years before the heir, the future King Louis VI, was born. He was followed
by three more sons.
Twenty years after the marriage, Philippe imprisoned Bertha in comfort
in the chateau at Montreuil-sur-Mer. He then wed the still-married Bertrade
de Montfort l'Amauri, wife of the Count of Anjou, and they produced four
children. It is lost in time whether she seduced him or he her, but most
likely Philippe had an understanding with the Count of Anjou. In any case
Bertrade was more than willing as she did not want to be "sent away like a
whore," as her husband had done to her predecessors.
Philippe's remarriage caused a sensation but not disapproval. The only
one who caused problems was Yves, bishop of Chartres, who had been
appointed by Pope Urban II without consultations with Philippe and this had
been resented by the latter.
The King had invited all bishops to his second wedding but Yves declined,
referring to Philippe as committing bigamy. Although Philippe had married
with the blessing of the Archbishop of Reims as well as the Papal legate,
Yves wrote to the Pope who then forbade the bishops to crown Bertrade and
told Philippe to cease all relations with her or else be excommunicated.
Next, Bertha, his first wife, died and Philippe gathered two archbishops
and eight bishops in Reims who all confirmed the royal second marriage. The
Pope also put pressure on the womanising Count of Anjou who then obediently
complained about the king's committing adultery with his wife. In 1096
Philippe pretended to have broken with Bertrade and consequently the
excommunication was lifted.
However, when it became obvious in 1099 that Bertrade was still with
him, the excommunication was renewed. It took until 1105 before peace was
restored and from then on Philippe and Bertrade remained together till
Philippe died in 1108.

I'm afraid here's another place where things get dicey. As I've said
before, alleged descents stemming from the putative marriage of Alice de
Bohun and Roger V de Toeni/Tonei/Tosny/Toni/Tony pose a real problem.
The argument for the marriage of Roger de Tonei (d. 1265) and Alice de
Bohun appears commonly to be based on data of the sort appearing in the
'Tony' article, CP XII, pt 1, which gives account of Humphrey de Bohun, E
of Heref & Essex, having the keeping of Roger s. & h. of Ralph de Toeny
during his minority (772, note c) & of a contract 1239 of m. betw Roger de
Tony V, then ae 3, & Alice da. of that Humphrey de Bohun. This article
says that the m. did take place, but that nothing more is known of Alice
except her burial, & that Roger m. an Isabel before 1255 (772, note h).
Some pedigrees depending on this marriage cite as source a marriage
contract in Excerpta Rot. Finium, I, 32, & MacLean's _History of Trigg
Manor, Cornwall_, I, 65. The contract we know about, but it can't prove
descents ascribed to such a marriage (such as that of Alice de Toni who m.
Guy de Beauchamp, E of Warwick).
Typical of the complications attaching to this line is: Jean LeMelletier,
_Les Seigneurs de Bohon_ (Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978), which is cited
online (Rand Geneal Club, www.rand.org/personal/genea/bohon.html) as saying
that "Cecilia or Alicia", da. of Humphrey de Bohun & Maud de Lusignan, m.
"Ralph [sic; not 'Roger'] de Toni".
...................................
Since writing the passage above I've checked the Maclean (which has often
been erroneously cited as _History of Trigg Manor, Cornwall_ when _History
of the Deanery of Trigg Minor, Cornwall_ is correct). It gives Roger de
Tony m. Alice de Bohun but cites the same evidence, viz. the childhood
marriage contract of 23 Hen III (1239) and Excerpta Rot.Finium, I, 327
[which is correct - not 32], and provides no confirmation that the marriage
took place. Meanwhile, CP XII, pt. 1, 772 note h (where the best case
possible is made out for Alice de Bohun) asserts with sources nevertheless
that Roger de Tony had married Isabel (--) prior to the birth of his son
Ralph de Tony VII (b. 1255), whose parents were the original subject of
this thread.
Has anyone yet checked Weis's source for this generation? (Here in England
I've Weis' _Anc. Roots_, 7th ed, & Faris, but not _Magna_Charta_Sureties_,
4th ed).
Again, unless anyone has seen evidence in support of this long-and-widely
published but tenuous descent of Ralph de Tony VII from Alice de Bohun, I'd
like to recommend that it be discarded in favour of Isabel (--) as mother.
In an earlier exchange, Richard Borthwick kindly pointed out that ES
III/4:706 clearly indicates that Ralph VII is the son of Isabel. But people
here know that I'm on record as one of those less likely to say of an ES
proposition, Well that's it then.
Cheers,
Cris
Here is where this falls apart. William Longespee's mother has been the
subject of much debate recently, but Rosamonde hasn't been a contender.

I have two comments on this. The first regards the surname given gens.
5-7. While the Kings of England descended from Geoffrey Plantagenet are
often asssigned his nickname as their surname, none of them used it
until the 14th century. I can understand (though it is less than
accurate) the retroactive use of the name being applied to earlier
members of the family who otherwise are left nameless, this should not
be done when the individual had a byname which was used in contemporary
documents. #5 above was known during his life as William Longespee
(Longespee being a nickname), and this name was used by all of his sons,
and thus became an inherited surname. Since they actually used the
name, Longespee should take precidence over Plantagenet, which was not
used as a surname or nickname by any descendant of the Kings of England
prior to the father of Edward IV, 250 years later.
The second comment is more important. As has been discussed her ad
nauseum, there is surviving record of the name of the mother of William
Longespee. The Buckfast cartulary records two separate donations in
which William asked for prayers in memory of his mother, "Ida" (called
Countess Ida in one). Thus Rosamunde Clifford was not the mother of
William. (Curiously, the name Ida was used by the Toeni family, and
some sort of connection has been suggested during earlier discussions of
the Countess.)

And Dr. Robins alone is correct. The evidence can be found in Coll.
Hist. Staffordshire, William Salt Soc. 1915 "Walter Chetwynd's History
of Pirehill Hundred." I'm sorry that I don't have the exact page number.
The Burleys have been badly bollixed with two different Burley families
who adored the names John and William grafted together. We are
attempting to do a separation and print an article concerning it. That
is not a royal we. There are three of us working on the project.

Ive always had a bit of a problem with this line. Interesting to note
that you have Emmeline born about
1250 with her daughter born the year before! Ive examined this line here
before and had some chronological
problems.
One of these days I'll have to check some IPMs to see how valid the
connection is, particularly if Margaret and
her sister Maud are indeed the daughters of Juliana.

Here is where things get a bit dicey. Margaret is treated in some
authorities as the mother of Richard Grey's children, and therefore a
link from them back to Edward I. However, it appears that those
children were born before Richard married her as his second wife, and
that Blanche Vache may be their mother. Ed Mann has Alice as dau of
Margaret and Reginald (Reynald) as son of Blanche. Can the question
be authoritatively determined?.

13 Reginald Grey b: ca. 1420 d: February 22, 1492/93
13 ALICE GREY b. ca. 1423 There is another issue here. R.P.
Robins' "Tentative Pedigree of the Littleton Family of Virginia" in 41
New England Historic and Genealogical Register 364 (1887) states that
Sir Thomas Lyttleton, K.B. (infra) married "Joan, widow of Philip
Chetwynd ... and daughter of Sir William Burley, Knt., of Broomscroft
Castle ... by his wife Ellen, daughter of John Grendon." But Dr.
Robins is alone (as far as I have found) in his identification of Sir
William Burley's wife. All of the other sources I have seen, which
identify a mother of a Joan (or Joane, or Joanne) Burley who married a
Littleton or a Chetwynd, identify said mother as Alice Grey (or
de_Grey, or Gray). All of those sources show that Alice Grey was the
eighth great grandaughter of Edward I. Many show more than one line
of descent from Edward I to her.

In your recent posting, you refer to the wife of Maurice Fitx Maurice Fitz
Gerald as "Emmeline Plantagenet," daughter of Stephen "Plantagenet."
Actually, his wife is supposed to have been Emmeline Longespee, daughter and
co-heiress of Stephen Longespee. The Longespee family never used the name
Plantagenet, although Stephen's father, William Longespee, was a bastard son of
King Henry II of England.
Actually, I'm glad you raised the issue of the Fitz Maurice-Longespee match, as
it claimed repeatedly in print that Maurice and his wife, Emmeline, were the
parents of Juliana Fitz Maurice, wife of Thomas de Clare. It appears that
Thomas de Clare's wife wa named Juliana and I assume it is true that she was
the daughter of Maurice Fitz Maurice. However, Juliana's mother was NOT
Emmeline Longespee as claimed everywhere in print.
A careful examination of Emmeline Longespee's records shows that at her death,
Emmeline's IPM did NOT list Juliana as her daughter and heiress. Rather,
Emmeline's heir was her grand niece, Maud la Zouche, wife of Robert, lst Lord
Holand. In fact, all of Emmeline's property appears to have gone to Maud and
possibly to Maud's sister, Ellen.
As such, I think it is safe to say that Emmeline Longespee was NOT the mother
of Thomas de Clare's wife, Juliana, as commonly thought.
In this instance, I'm not certain just how or why historians tried to make
Emmeline Longespee out to be Juliana de Clare's mother as I can't find anything
to connect the two women. Regardless, Emmeline Longespee needs to be removed
as Juliana de Clare's mother.
Sorry, everyone, that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. As ever, Douglas
Richardson

Todd, really. That's the 'Buschwa Cartulary', as one can conclude from
the attempts, ad nauseam [<=recte, BTW], by another poster to impugn its
value in this particular point.

Is that similar to a "Bush League" Cartulary? <G>

As I remember, there was an article in NEHGR many years ago which was
entitled
"A Previously Unnoticed Descent from Henry I" or something like that,
which stated
that Emmeline was descended from one of Henry I's illegitimate sons. The
article also
stated that Emmeline had descendants through her two supposed daughters,
but Ive
always had a problem with the chronology, and Im glad that youve
provided the evidence
which gives us a correct perspective on this.

What do we know of her burial? Vide infra (has DSH claimed a
copyright on that phrase?): Comparing the burial date with the birth
date of dau Alice (if known) might shed some light.

I'm sorry to say you're dealing with a rank amateur here, who can't
always interpret abbreviated citations well enough to go look for the

Is this a non-sequitur? May not Ralph VII have a mother different
from the mother of Alice (at least logically)? What's missing from
the puzzle is the birth date of dau. Alice.

Noted. I have a great affection for good scholarship (else I wouldn't
be here), but the Plantagenet surname seems to be a bit of a bête
noire for TAF. In the practical world of genealogical software which
generates indices by surnames, "Plantagenet" turns out to be a handy
handle for keeping a grip on descendants of Geoffrey, at least down
through the Wars of the Roses; and so I at least, with a nod in the
direction of better scholarship, consign the better surnames of
Geoff's descendants to the AKA field.

Juliana, wife of Thomas de Clare, is probably the daughter of Maurice Fitz
Maurice Fitz Gerald, as people claim. It's just that her mother isn't
Emmeline Longespee. I should add that Emmeline never appears in English
records as the widow of Maurice. So, I can't even be sure that Emmeline was
married to Juliana's father. However, my guess is that Emmeline was married
to Maurice, even if she wasn't Juliana's mother.
I hope that helps. All for now. As ever, Douglas Richardson

If not does anyone know who Matilda FERRERS' parents were?

"CP" is the second edition of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*
"Rot." stands for "Rotuli". That title means "Extracts from the Rolls of
